Sony Demos TV With OLED and UHDTV Technology

As TV manufacturers gaze out several years into the future, they see two technologies playing a pivotal role in replacing today’s high-definition, LCD televisions.

The first is ultra high-definition televisions offering four times the resolution of today’s models. The second is organic light-emitting diode, or OLED, screens, which are extremely thin with stunning color contrast.

At this week’s Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, just about every television manufacturer will show off their technological chops with a new TV that features either OLED, or ultra high-definition running on liquid crystal displays. In an attempt to one-up rivals, Sony unveiled a 56-inch prototype that combines the two technologies into a single television.
